The Chaco lancehead is a venomous viper that lives in forests across parts of South America. It is one of the main causes of snakebite in Argentina, so it is an important snake to recognise. Its bite can be serious, and it should be left alone.1

Dintlha

1

Around 80% of the snakebite cases reported in Argentina in the 1960s and 1970s were linked to this species.1

2

Although it eats mostly mammals, it has been seen eating other snakes, a habit called ophiophagy.1

3

It gives birth to live young, because its eggs hatch inside the mother.1
